Miura lost the same WBC title by ninth round TKO aganst Vargas in an epic fight in November 2015.

Also on the card, Panama’s Jezreel Corrales (22-1, 8 KOs) retained his WBA super featherweight title with a technical majority decision over Mexican challenger Robinson Castellanos (24-13, 14 KOs), who was unable to continue following a brutal accidental head clash.

Corrales' southpaw stance against the right-handed Castellanos caused a lot of grappling throughout the bout and an accidental head clash in the second round cut Corrales over his right eye and Castellanos on his forehead.

Castellanos scored two fourth round knockdowns, but Corrales recovered well and fought back in the following rounds before dropping Castellanos in the seventh.

Castellanos suffered a cut under his right eye from another head clash in the 10th. The ringside doctor examined Castellanos and advised the referee to stop the fight.
